A plate clutch consists of 1 pair of contacting surfaces. The inner and outer diameter of the friction disk is 100mm and 200mm respectively. The coefficient of friction is 0.2 and permissible intensity of pressure is 1.5N/mm². Assuming uniform pressure theory, calculate the operating force in the clutch.
